Hi Holly,

Thanks for your input Holly, I just about have all I need now, I could not find the mother Betsey on the 1891 but now of course I have that sorted.

Thanks to everyone for helping with my Hocking line.

Hi Gritty & Chris,

Thankyou very much for sorting this out, I have managed to print this off now.

They may be related to the Whitburn family, now I know where Betsey was in 1891.


Thanks for your help

Hello Jane,

Chris has put above that the 1891 census on Ancestry has been mistranscibed, and Betsey is listed as Betsy Whitburn- although the image does state Betsy Hocking.
